MacBook Pro 2018 Throttling Bug Fix Did Not Solve, It Still Heats Up

Apple seems to have solved the problem of throttling in MacBook Pro with Core i9 processor, but in front of the umpteenth bug one wonders now costs is happening in that of Cupertino.

Until Apple creates a sort of seal of trust, there's no reason to think that the launches, updates and patches of its new products will not be full of bugs and problems , some of which are so important that they become of journalistic titles (and not only on some specialized press). Here, just to understand each other, what happened in the last year at Apple: so we are definitely expecting that the MacBook Pro 2018 Throttling Bug Fix will work

iOS 11: Capital I, 12/2 restart bug
macOS High Sierra: root bug
iPhone X: displays that do not respond to touch with low temperatures
Apple Watch Series 3: LTE connectivity problems
HomePod: white rings left on wooden furniture
And these are just the bugs that have been most discussed, certainly not all those that have emerged. Fortunately, Apple is big enough to fix and go beyond these problems, but such a series of "stumbling blocks" scattered across such a wide range of products would be enough to sink some smaller companies. And while we are heading towards the biggest season of releases of Apple (the post-summer one), it is not exactly the confidence that comes to mind thinking of the new iPhone, the new Apple Watch and all the upcoming devices that will propose Cupertino.

A question of heat?
When Apple launched its new MacBook Pro a couple of weeks ago , the initial reaction was positive, as was the first round of reviews. In fact, more than a year had passed since Apple had launched new MacBook Pro and, together with an increase in maximum installable RAM (from 16 to 32 GB), Hey Siri's support and a change to the keyboard, there was a even bigger surprise for professional users: a 15-inch Mac Book Pro model with an Intel Core i9 processor. It is rare for a Mac to use processors that only came out a couple of months earlier on Windows PCs and several professionals were rightly eager to get their hands on this model.

However the honeymoon period did not last long. Just 48 hours after their availability, the expert YouTuber Dave Lee (Dave2D) discovered that the Core i9 aboard the 3800-euro MacBookPro was so heated during intensive video editing to be dropped (as performance) to Core levels i7 for long periods of time. The result was a fuss of not a little and not surprisingly Apple has immediately started to work, so much so that yesterday already has distributed a patch for macOS with the promise to solve these problems by correcting a missing digital key in the firmware. I really faith in the MacBook Pro 2018 Throttling Bug Fix.

On the one hand we must praise the rapid action of Apple. In less than a week, in fact, the technicians have investigated, replicated and launched a solution to a problem that often requires the other companies months to be solved , taking care as quickly as possible an "evil" that was likely to become a metastasis (and especially at media level). On the other hand, however, it is a serious bug that Apple should have identified and resolved before the public had the opportunity to see and talk about it.

The problem could have been due to two causes. Apple did not bother to really test its higher-end MacBook Pro with the most popular video editing software (Adobe Premiere Pro) . Or Apple knew that throttling could be a problem, but he waited to see how the effects of the real world would be widespread.

In reality both eventualities could be true. Although Apple has certainly tested its top-of-the-range MacBook Pro, this model was probably not the biggest priority to follow. Apple engineers knew without a doubt that such a thin unibody design could cause overheating problems with such an energy-intensive processor like the Core i9, but they clearly could not create a chassis for every hardware configuration. The problem seems to have been solved, but there is a more important question that is still unanswered: Apple is not exaggerating with all these problems, hardware and software?

Quality and quantity
Naturally, day one's problems when it comes to highly technological products are not new at all. For years, we have heard warnings about buying first-generation devices or downloading (as soon as possible) software updates as soon as they are available, but in most cases Apple products have generally been free of major problems.

What has changed then? Some would say that Apple has become too "busy", having to manage no less than four operating systems and five categories of products that all require serious attention (and in this list we have not counted HomePod and AirPods). Or it could be the pace of annual updates that is causing this series of problems. So did the MacBook Pro 2018 Throttling Bug Fix solve it?

But all these obstacles should now have been overcome. Apple has a lot of money and tons of resources and if it were a matter of personnel, it would simply hire more capable people to deal with the problems and any weak link in the chain would probably have been sent away or reassigned to another department or other functions.

We think rather that the problem is something more systematic because of a softening of the corporate culture of Apple compared to the era of Steve Jobs . Nobody expected Tim Cook to be able to replicate Jobs' ability to innovate, even if to say the real Apple Watch and AirPods are products that would have made Apple's father proud, but Cook has a softer and more friendly management style which is clearly not achieving the same results.

Jobs' genius was not limited to engineering and design, but also to how to motivate people. Whether for fear, love or manipulation, Steve Jobs was able to constantly request perfection and get it from Jony Ive as well as from a low-level programmer. We are not saying that Tim Cook should be replaced as CEO of Apple, but that he probably needs help.

Apple should hire or promote someone in the role of Senior Vice President of Quality Control. That manager and his team would be the only ones responsible for finding the problems (which are then likely to turn into highly popular journalistic titles) and eliminating them before they land on the market. It is also true that the problems will continue to occur (how to forget the Antennagate?), But after a year characterized by an unprecedented amount of embarrassing bugs it may be time for Apple to seriously consider the possibility of making a change to the vertices.

We have downloaded the MacBook Pro 2018 Throttling Bug Fix and man the heating still continues on the i9 unit. It did not fix it.

Together with the family of P20 smartphones, this year Huawei launched itself in the field of full wireless headphones and presented its Huawei FreeBuds . These earphones are shamelessly inspired by Apple's AirPods for design and functionality and, if there were no AirPods, these FreeBuds would have made a miracle cry for some aspects of the user experience.

But the AirPods are there (as are the Gear Icon X 2018): the wow effect is reduced , what is left of these headphones?

It's been two years since Xiaomi launched its previous Mi Band on the market and for this reason the wait for the most talked-about smartband on the web had grown out of all proportion. Today we give you my opinion on the Xiaomi Mi Band 3.

There is nothing new in the package. Only the rubber bracelet and the accessory to charge the Mi Band. Perhaps we ask too much but considering the price of replacement straps, perhaps a second colored bracelet in tribute would not be bad.

Overall, the design does not change much compared to the previous model and this is also a recognizable Mi Band from a first glance. But there are various details that demonstrate the work of Xiaomi on the product. The strap and the hook seem more robust and even the "capsule" of the Mi Band remains attached even better to the bracelet. Even the body of the product is larger, both to accommodate a larger display, but also for the presence of a more protruding heartbeat sensor. Needless to deny that …

The new turbodiesel 1.6 engines and the tablet-type infotainment screen are also coming

The success on the market has seen the rise of the Hyundai Tucson since its debut when it has taken the place of the already successful iX35.

Apparently the SUV mania was already taken four years ago and the Korean C-SUV has known how to ride it.

But now half-generation and after more than 55 thousand copies sold in other markets, it is time to redo the trick, both from the aesthetic point of view and especially from the motorist taking advantage of the entry of Euro6 dTemp, in fact three new engines diesel: a 1.6 l 115 and 135 V and a 2.0 l 185 bhp that uses the new mild hybrid technology .

As mentioned aesthetically, some strategic highlights are evident especially in the front where LED lights and the Cascading Grille arrive, the identity mark of the Hyundai SUV family, the new bumpers and the new tailgate on the back and the lights that have been slightly restyled.

Question: I recently installed a fluorescent lamp made by a company called Firefly just a week ago and today when I turn on the switch the lamp makes this buzzing and crackling noise, the lamp still lights up though, but there is a slight flicker and the buzzing and crackling noise is persistent it never goes away. What is the problem?

Answer: There are a few possible causes for this.

1.) It could be lose connection between the end tip of the lamp and the socket, it needs to be screwed all the way through until you can no longer turn it around.

Just remove and reinstall the lamp and try it again if it still makes the sound.

2.) It could be that the lamp is defective. If it has warranty you can have it replaced from the store which you bought it from.

3.) There could be a problem with the lamp socket, you can have it checked by an electrician and have it replaced if need be.

Usually there is a fear that lamp will blow up, however in most cases it will not.

With the arrival of Amazon Echo Input, the Amazon Echo product line, that is Amazon's domestic voice assistants, has become even more complete and we decided to take this opportunity to create a guide to buying products with Alexa all ' indoor.

The novelty of this 2019 is the new Amazon Echo Input , which is the "base" from which we start when we talk about wanting to include Alexa in her home. It is a small round disk that reminds a bit of a polished stone to be bounced on the water. It is the only one equipped with a microUSB port for charging (the others all have a proprietary connector) and on the top there are 4 microphones for recognition and no volume keys.

This is because Amazon Echo Input does not have a speaker and to be used must therefore necessarily be connected via audio jack (supplied) or Bluetooth, to a speaker of any kind. Buy this product to connect it to a cheap bluetooth speaker, but perhaps it is not very sensible. It is much more if you have a…

What has changed from OnePlus 6 to OnePlus 6T ? If much can actually be told from the respective technical data sheets, something can also be added from our experience in the field, although this time we have to admit that the pure numerical data tell a good part of the experience.

This is due to the fact that the basic hardware, the cameras and the software is substantially identical, thus essentially leading to two smartphones that offer a user experience not too dissimilar. OnePlus 6T is definitely a bit thicker and a bit heavier: nothing transcendental, but if you love thin and light devices you will notice the difference. But it gains something in handling.

Increases up to 3700 mAh but the battery and this largely justifies the increase in weight and size, as well as the absence of the audio jack (yes, but after all we knew). The screen is then of the same type but it is bigger and the dimensions are even more emphasized by a notch smaller than before and that therefore just brea…

Huawei has approached the world of smart speakers at the last IFA show in Berlin where it presented AI Cube , its first smart speaker supported by artificial intelligence . Today we bring you the launch of a new product of this kind by the Chinese company, more compact than AI Cube but still founded on AI.

The device has the generic name of AI Speaker and you can see it in the images shown in the gallery below : the link with Apple HomePod in terms of design is immediately evident , the body is cylindrical and the quick controls are installed on the upper base. From a software standpoint, Histen is integrated , which plays the roles of music equalizer and enhancement software. The implemented intelligent voice assistant is called Xiaoyi and is compatible with all HiLink platform products .

The device integrates a high fidelity sound driver of 2.25 " , is able to offer a power of 10W and is equipped with six microphones with voice recognition . Sound hardware was developed in col…

Starmobile - has the most neatly and decently designed cheaper phones out there. Their latest the Knight is unbelievably fast, looks good. Content-wise, they hook up with local providers like Inquirer and KristN. Plus, they only need one celebrity to do the endorsing (Vice Ganda), which means they do have plenty of cha-ching for marketing.

Cherry Mobile - does equally good with Starmobile although we hear more hardware complaints about their units. But they spend well on advertising and promotions and boy do they have powerhouse endorsers (John Lloyd Cruz, Sarah Geronimo, Anne Curtis, Kim Chiu). Their Cosmos line up are impressive for a low end market. Although, I haven't liked a single good-looking Cherry Mobile phone, because they are either Samsung or so China-made looking.

MyPhone - the brand is so "masa", nothing wrong with that though, the nationalistic branding…
